DHARLUTTETOWN, THURSDAY, JULY 29, X948 liuplessls Swriops Quebec At the time of writing, Premier Duplessis's Union Notionole party candidates are reported Is being "easy victors from the outset of the taunting of the votes" in the Quebec provincial rlections yesterday. Their return with a greatly increased majority is assured, with the Liberal leader, Hon. Adelard Godbout, trailing the Gov- ernment candidate in his own riding. There are 92 seats in the Quebec Legislature, for which no fewer than 312 candidates entered the contest, a record number in the Province's history. The campaign was a spirited one all ‘the way, with Premier Duplessis and Mr. Godbout both conducting vigorous appeals to the electors. Kt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, as well as other Quebec members of the Dominion cabinet and Qiberal members of Parliament, were extremely uctNe at meetings in Mr. Godbout's interests. Dn the Government's side, Premier Duplessispin his bid to break into the Montreal City area where he failed to elect a single Union Notion- rrle candidate in i944, was able to attract Mayor Houde to his banner, who proved a potent chom- pron. When the Legislature was d-issolved upon calling the election, the Government party had 52 members in the House, tho Liberals 34, Bloc Populaire 3, C. C. F. and Independents, one each. The Union of Electors also contested a few rid- lngs then but failed to elect any of its candi- dates. ln four by-electons held between i944 and the present summer, Union Nationole won all. Three were lost by the Liberals and one by Bloc Populaire, the latter now having faded from the political scene. The prevailing issues in the campaign were Dominion-Provincial relations, the perpetuation of the free enterprise system, a continued war against Communism, the maintenance of full provincial rights and other issues of local im- portance, which Premier Duplessis exploited adroitly. He had the Liberal leader "on the spot" in charging that Ottawa was trying to deprive the Province of autonomy, and he had ample evidence in the King Government's at- tempts to set up a complicated system of social- security. _ While it was generally expected that the Duplessis Government would be re-elected, its almost unprecedented landslide; involving gains -at the expense of Liberals in both urban and rural sections, will be a disheartening prelude to the forthcoming Liberal National Convention. lt may materially affect Mr. St. Laurent's chances for the party leadership, and by his colleagues in the King Cabinet generally it may well be interpreted as the handwriting on the wall. Promoting Fish Sales The emphasis placed by Mr. J. Watson MacNaught, M.P., on the need of more adver- tising of fish and fish products in a recent ad- dress at the Pictou lobster carnival is strongly supported by the New Glasgow Evening News, which remarks editorially: "None should know this more than any- one connected with the Fisheries Department and none should have a better chance to do something about this than the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister. He should push for an advertising campaign-a useful one telling how to cook and consume fish-—-ond he should be ever at it. . "Mr. McNaught noted to the crowd that a small jump in the average consumption of fish in Canada would end the marketing trou- bles of all our fishermen. That sounds reason- able. Yet the fisheries continue to"be an up- and-down business with the fishermen, on. the lowest rung of the ladder, getting the bumps when the foreign markets get tough. "Right now there is reason to believe the fisheries situation would be much worse were it not for the fact much of the production along these shores is being bought up and given away in Europe. That is a poor foundation for any large segment of our people. Required in- stead, is the sure solidarity of a larger home market; thct we can be sure of because of its dependability. "There are many problems in connection with fish marketing in Canada: distance and transportation, for instance. But steadily these problems are being beaten; they can be now if the demand is sufficient. That is where od- vertising could come in-create that demand. We had some Department advertising in Can- ada before and in the early days of the war. It helped. But in the later years of the war the British people really showed us what bd- vertising could do in re-educating a whole peo- ple's food habits. "Britain is today consuming more fish than fOflli0flys-rbdCflllSi fish is, caught at home by Britons, saves precious dollars and the people have been taught how to present it on tho table lb the most iappetizing way. British govern- ment ods were written recipe style; housewives were encouraged to learn new methods. That worked in Britain and it ought to work hero. A government campaign along this lino in Can- ada could do a lot for the fishermen." Our New Glasgow contemporary suggests that the whole load should not bo carried by tho Government. Cooperation among tho orange growers in California resulted In a big fond for advertising being built up by a small charge of a cont or so against every cons of . the fruit sent out by the grower. It should be , pebble to low o small charge o_rr every case of fish; the various companies could work this out among themselves. The dealers would bene- fit just as the fisheimen would from increased demand and steady markets. ' i Tho 00st 0t War The full horrors of modern warfare are re- vealed in the report on the cost of the Second Great War by the Revue Du Droit, of Geneva. According to the estimates of the Swiss jour- nal, human loss was 78,000,000 lives--more than six times the population of Canada. Some 32,000,000 men were killed on the battlefields; 26,000,000 men, women and children were mur- dered in concentration camps and 20,000,000 persons were killed by air bombings. This, of course, does not complete the awful toll for in many centres veterans are still dying from the effects of wounds and war- contracted illnesses. As for material loss the figure is beyond the imagination of most people. lt is estimat- ed _at $375,000,000, about ten times the value of all gold extracted from the earth since the days of the Pharaohs. — Add to these costs the misery occasioned to miilions during the last conflict, the l5,- 000,000 to 20,000,000 rendered destitute and the countless moral and physical wrecks left over as a legacy and it is nightmarish to think about the possibility of another outbreak. -— EDITORIAL NOTES —- Tho Governor-General in residence.

I i I I Government by plebiscite is contrary to the principles of our form of representative government, but it often seems an easy way for politicians, to escape responsibility.

If the three-section session were so established, its certainty obviously would enable members to better plan their year, and their accommoda- tion in the capitol. ~ 7\K, .

Ha says: "1 was the first Briton who attempted a fishery on the Islfllld of st, John. 1 had raised lmo . storehouses at. St. Peter's and had employed most. of the people on the Island 1n the flshtry; I hld likewise brought. s. crew from Marblehead in New Enzlcnd to cause an ermnllatlon...Tl-re land on this Island 1s 1n general very light land; will sqoner make a Show of vegetation, but is not so strong and deep as the land upon the continent, which will lasl: long- er. There has been a fire about seventy years ego which passed almost. through the whole Island end burnt up a great deal of the soil, so that you soon come to the gravel; and their salt marshes are good for little, being spungy, mossy ground. Up some r4 the river's and 1n some of the buys the land is better and the soil deeper. I was called to this Island to examine and put. a stop ta depredetions made In the white pine timber, at. a place called Three Rivers. I found them destroying the finest groves of white pine that. Arrnerica can boost. of." He then presents affidavits that. several Acadlans had been em- ployed to cut. down white pine timber at Three Rivera on the Island of St. John, that they had out down and felled upwards of twelve hundred white pine trees! and that more than two hundred of the said ireer were more then two feet through st. the butt where thy were out, which was about two and one-half feat. from the earth; and that sll the sold pine trees. so cut snd felled, grew within less than one hundred and fifty yards of high water rnnrk. This allows the excellent pure that formerly grow on the Island, and incidently shows that the greet. fire could not have over- run the Three Rivers section d! the country. so the pine in the period that. elspsod since first firs, could not have grown to the sine described b!

Already there has been both sheet. erosion and gully- ing woolly as the result of in- tenslve cropping without protec- tion. Even 1n the absence of de- tailed erosion surveys. the report. indicates that. several sreer. 1n the Province of New Brunswick have been so severely eroded as to hin- der economic production of farm crops.
